Do we like channels on shorter fishy boards. They’re all the rage on midlengths. I’m afraid to try a channel board for the first time at full new board prices

Thoughts on the No Friends vs Ugly Fish? Anyone ridden both? There is a place not far from where I am that does them under license here in Australia. Always wanted to try a stretch and Looking for small wave/grovel board over summer. They have a few of each in my dims on sale so I'm keen to hear from the stretch experts.
Talk me through your experience. What size do you ride? What conditions do you surf it in? and fins setup? I've been down another rabbit hole for five years, so going back to small wave boards etc with multi fins is freaking me out.
Mine was definitely oversized. I'm 190ish and the 5 7" had a lot of foam... a lot. It went great for about as small as you could surf up to head high, then had to much foam once it started getting real pitchy. Not a good ledgey take off board, but honestly handled everything else really well. Super fast and rippy, had some glide so I didnt have to work hard for speed. I do rememeber spinning out a few times though trying to do a big turn at speed, but that was probably the foam/fat rails/bigger day combo. I used stretch quads and never changed, they just worked. I think a no friends twin swallow would be fun as a true small wave fish.
I ended up selling it to feed board addiction, but I'd. Consider getting another. I'd say just don't go too big, and some thinner rails would be better. The no friends 2 3/8" rails felt like 2.8" lol

Did i post this beaut here already?
Had a square1 fore a few years actually. Never really got a memorable session on it. I guess is meant for better quality waves. I surf mostly soft slopey waves where grovel type boards go better.
So i went with more foam on this one and i also plan to use it on bigger waves. We’ll see.
510x19.38x2.50
Thing 60x19.50x2.56

So I grabbed a used No Friends. 5'4, 20 something by 2 7/16. Has the skate deck. Really does go in nothing surf. Have surfed it twice in two days in super clean knee-high waves but no push. I'm really impressed. It caught everything and zips along flat spots, turns super well and paddles like a dream. Love the feel of the skate deck. Using the s-wing twins at the moment, but could see that getting a little dicey in anything bigger. Any recommendations for twin + trailer for this style of board? Definitely a true grovel board and a keeper.

Picked up 6’2 speedbuzz and 7’3 buzzgun
as you can see, they’re both gorgeous. Lots of foam, only in the right places. Very, very light, even the big one. The tails *chefs kiss*
look at the boat nose on this thing
Haven’t had time to edit my photos like i usually do, here’s a couple raw pictures in the mean time

You end up picking up some fins unlimited custom fins with your new bords 
Incoming board porn cascade, prepare your lube of choice
6’2 speedbuzz
no editing trickory, board glows in the dark…in the light.
Wide, straight outline. No hip, full tail.
flat through the front with just a slight perk in the nose. Skate deck keeps foam up there. It’s a paddler
tail has the rocker. Still not a lot. Soooo much concave through the back half. Deep single into super deep double with a thick spine and v out the back. Rails are even, friendly, hard edge doesn’t go far up.

7’3 buzz”gun”(knife? It’s mine, so hardly gun worthy)
The other board is the wild California sunset sky, this one is that one reflected off the water
cork top, bamboo bottom. Straight as I like them (lol) that rocket rail line
“Aztec pyramid deck” so a trapezoid shape, nose gets thicker right away out to the line created by the deck channel. Rail drops, deck rises.
Heel side two plugs (I appreciate the vote of confidence, Stretch, but lol)
See how thick it gets from way back. Where my foot goes is as thick as the center of a board. The rail falls tight, but not hard edged.
Serious boat nose underneath. That’s not camera angle, it’s convex nose. Not even v, full hull. This one doesn’t have concave, it’s boat bottom to flat to v in the back.
it’s a prone paddle board shrunk down to stand on
one of you told me to get these fins, so i did. They feel nice. Small.
